And war broke out in heaven, Michael and
his angels fought with the dragon, and the
dragon and his angels fought, but they did
not prevail, nor was a place found for
them in heaven any longer.
So verse 7, John the Beloved is saying
that there was a battle that took place
in heaven between the archangel Michael and his
angels and the dragon and his angels, but
the dragon and his angels did not prevail
against the warrior, the archangel Michael.
The dragon is satan himself, the dragon is
satan himself.
So satan fought against the archangel Michael.
Now, we've mentioned this before, but I'll refresh
our memories.
And for those who haven't heard this before,
it's an opportunity to hear it now.
God, when we go back to Genesis chapter
1, the very beginning of the Holy Bible,
Old Testament, Genesis chapter 1 and verse 1
says, in the beginning Elohim, and the Hebrew
translation is Elohim or Elohim.
In English, it's called, it's referred to as
God, but in the original text is Elohim.
So in the beginning, Elohim created the heavens
and the earth.
The Holy Bible mentions the heavens and the
earth that were created in the very beginning.
And then it leaves the heavens and comes
and talks about the earth.
The reason being the Holy Bible is a
salvific book sent from God to the human
race.
So it is a book directed to this
realm, not to the next realm, the spiritual
realm.
It's directed to the tangible materialistic, the realm
where the human race came to existence by
God, not the big bang by God.
So now when God created in the beginning,
Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
Heavens here refers to angels.
Why?
Because the days of creation had not started
yet.
So heavens, angels and earth, when were they
created?
In the beginning, outside the time frame.
Outside the time frame.
So in the beginning Elohim created the heavens,
angels and earth.
And it goes on, it says the earth
was void and formless.
And then God said, let there be light,
let there be this, this, and he started
creating.
But what happened?
God created the angels.
When he created those angels, there is nine
angelic orders.
There are nine angelic orders, beginning from the
highest, cherubims, seraphims, thrones, authorities, powers, dominions,
principalities, archangels and angels.
So angels is the lowest rank in the
angelic order.
The highest rank in the angelic order are
the cherubims.
This fallen angel called Satan, the dragon, was
from the highest angelic order.
The cherubims was from the highest angelic order.
When God created the angels, this cherub decided
to be like God.
He said, I will lift up, I will
lift up my throne above all the stars
of heaven and I'll be equal to God.
This cherub decided to establish a kingdom within
a kingdom where?
In heaven.
So in other words, this cherub decided to
challenge God.
What happened?
The consequences of this, God created angels.
There was plenty of them.
So one angel came and said to God,
I choose to be with you.
Willingly, I choose to be with you and
I will fight this cherub that has gone
against you and is trying to challenge you
and establish a kingdom where there is no
other kingdom but God's.
The true divine God, the creator of everything
that is visible and invisible, the spiritual, both
the spiritual and the tangible realms.
So this angel decided to fight against this
cherub.
This cherub was named Lucifer.
Lucifer, the literal transliteration of Lucifer is the
illuminating morning star.
That is the meaning of the word Lucifer,
the illuminating or illuminating morning star, the illuminative.
Now to your shocking surprise, that's where the
illuminatis took this ideology.
So illuminatis, it comes from illumination, enlightenment.
But this enlightenment is Lucifer's, the fallen angel,
the one who challenged God and wanted to
be like God.
So they call themselves the illuminatis, i.e.
satan worshippers, period.
Hollywood is run and controlled by the illuminatis.
My sons and daughters, young men and women,
if you think Hollywood singers, Hollywood celebrities are
your role models and idols, please reconsider because
this is a deliberate act of satan to
brainwash the human race and take them away
from the true God, from the true illumination,
from the true light of the world, Jesus
Christ of Nazareth.
So when Lucifer, the illuminating morning star, went
against God from a light, being a light,
turned into absolute darkness, from beauty to ugliness.
So this arch and this angel came and
fought against this dragon or this cherub that
challenged God.
And so many angels came in line with
this angel who decided to be with God.
So this angel who decided to be with
God, other angels went with him and said,
we're going to be with you.
And then this cherub also brainwashed other angels
and made one third of them fall from
the glory which God gave them when he
first created them.
He deceived one third of the angels of
heaven.
That is not a bad number.
So if you want to fight satan on
your own, good luck.
You can't win with him.
He's very smart for you alone outside of
Christ.
Without Jesus, no one can fight against satan.
He's too smart.
So he deceived one third of the angelic
orders and made them fall.
And he fought with his fallen angels against
this angel with the angels of God.
And the angels of God prevailed and kicked
this cherub who became satan, who was called
Lucifer, who became satan.
They kicked him out with those foul spirits
that followed him, kicked them, all of them
out of heaven.
This angel that overcame satan was called Michael.
And you see his icons being depicted, an
angel with wings, with a spear in his
hands, killing the dragon, satan.
The archangel Michael is also from the cherub,
the highest angelic orders.
So he fought with those angels who took
his side against Lucifer, the fallen angel who
became satan with one third of the angels
of heaven.
They fought against each other.
The angels of God led by Michael.
From this moment onward, I am the angel
of God.
And they prevailed against satan and the fallen
angels.
They were kicked out of heaven.
Where did this fighting take place?
Please pay attention.
Now this is biblical truths.
So if you've been wondering why are things
going wrong in your life, maybe today you'll
get your answer.
This fighting took place in the heaven of
all heavens, in the heaven of all heavens,
where the Lord Jesus, after resurrection, went up
and sat down at the right hand of
the father.
The right hand of the father is the
heaven of all heavens, where this fighting took
place, this in verse 7, which John the
beloved is mentioning.
It happened in the heavens of all heavens.
Satan has three falls to go through.
Two of them are already, is already fallen.
One more is to come.
The first fall the first fall was from
the heaven of all heavens.
He got kicked out by the archangel Michael.
When he was kicked out from the heaven
of all heavens, he fell into the, into
what we call the heaven of the air.
So he is the prince of the air.
And then the third one is going to
be when he falls from the heaven of
the air into the, onto the land, onto
the earth.
Now, prior to the Lord's coming, prior to
the Lord's crucifixion, prior to the Lord's resurrection,
Satan, Lucifer, after he had fallen from the
heaven of all heavens, he used to enter
heaven and complain us to God.
So he would go to God and say,
well, God, you said so-and-so was
a true servant of yours.
He was a child of yours.
Well, look at him.
Look what I've done to him.
I made him fall in sin.
I made him deny you.
I made him do all the wrong things
under the sun.
Well, so, so much for your so-called
son.
So he used to go to God and
complain and whinge against us.
When the Lord Jesus was crucified, buried and
rose and went up to where?
He went up to the heaven of all
heavens, the right hand of the father, which
is the heavenly Jerusalem.
It is the right hand of the father
where that angel was at that place in
the very beginning.
But who went up to the heaven of
all heavens and took the place of the
fallen angel?
The son of man, not the son of
God.
The son of God is God.
God doesn't go up or down.
God is everywhere at the same time.
But the one who went up and sat
at the right hand of the father is
the son of man, the glorified body, the
resurrected body of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
So the human side of Christ went up
and sat at the right hand of the
father.
What is the right hand of the father?
Being like God, equal to God, equality, being
like God.
You see, when God created Adam and Eve
and out of Adam, he created Eve.
Satan, we see Satan again, the old serpent
coming and whispering in the ease of Eve.
He said to her, is it true that
God said to you, if you eat from
that particular tree, you're gonna die?
She said, yes, if we touch it and
eat from it, we will die.
He said to her, no, trust me, God
is selfish.
He doesn't want you to be like God,
like him.
He is selfish.
He wants always to control you because the
moment you eat from that forbidden tree, your
eyes will open and you'll know good and
evil.
Meaning like God, God knows everything.
What is good and evil?
Meaning everything.
So you're gonna end up like God.
He doesn't want you to be like him
because he's selfish.
But God, before creating Adam, what did he
say?
Let us go down and create man according
to our image and our likeness.
He intended for the man to be like
him.
He intended for the man to sit at
his right hand equal to him, being his
son, the heir to the throne, the inheritor
of the kingdom.
He wanted the human being to be like
him.
But Satan in a deceptive way said, God
is selfish.
He doesn't want you to be like him.
That's why he warned you not to eat
from the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil.
Now when Satan, when this cherub fell and
became Satan, he realized one thing.
He can never go back to where he
was before.
Where was he before?
In the heaven of all heavens.
What is the heaven of all heavens?
Like God, equal to God.
He realized he can never go back to
it.
When he saw Jesus, the man, the glorified
body, going up and sitting and taking his
place, he lost the plot.
He went haywire.
He said, I am spirit.
The humans are a piece of dust.
I blow at them.
I'll wipe them.
I am much more powerful than them.
I, the spirit, fell because of my pride
and ended up eating dust.
And the dust ended up eating spiritual food.
They took my spot.
Why did this fallen angel eat dust?
Because he's also called the serpent.
What does the serpent eat?
The dust of the earth.
So the spirit ate the dust and the
dust ate the spiritual food.
So when he saw Jesus going up and
sitting at the right hand of the father,
he took the fallen angel's place.
The human side took the place of Satan
in heaven.
He went haywire.
He couldn't win with Jesus.
So he said, okay, I can't win with
Jesus.
I'll make sure I'll destroy his children.
I'll win with them.
I'll deceive them.
I'll do everything under the sun to make
them fall.
Because since I will not go back to
my place in heaven, I'll make sure no
human takes my place.
I'll drag them with me to hell where
I belong now.
